we need to make using chatgpt embarrassing bc sorry it really is. what do you mean you can’t write an email

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

So what you’re saying is that someone in the free market has responded to high costs by developing a new product that is far less expensive, and can be applied by the injured person themselves not just a doctor or nurse.

This isn’t ‘Neat’ this is horrifying. America is in shambles.

Yes we know thank you

Okay like I know y'all are like “fuck capitalism” and I’m right there with ya, but this is amazing for emergency aid in extreme environments as well.

crucial also that this method does not involve making additional punctures in the epidermis which is just one more way for bacteria to get in. and on that subject, the wound can be washed and disinfected and monitored for any infection very easily this way because the tissue is simply being pushed together instead of bound together. if you notice inflammation, there’s nothing stopping you from popping this zip-tie bandage off, thoroughly cleaning the wound, and slapping a brand new one on. try doing that with stitches, buddy. this is a huge improvement over prior technology and that’s all without even mentioning how much it could help someone who is bleeding from a head wound and lives just a bit too far from a hospital. or what if you’re in a car accident and the pileup makes it hard for an ambulance to get to your location? you can buy yourself a little time this way. this would be an incredible invention with or without single payer healthcare

I would also like to point out that superglue™ was originally developed as a medical adhesive for use in war zones. that episode of poker face did not make that shit up.

a fun thing about being on medication that carries warnings like 'if you suddenly stop taking this you might have effects that can range from feeling crummy to psychosis' is that the pharmacy will still go 'haha oopsie we forget to get those pills you order every single month, you can do without for a while right'

My doctor's office kept refusing to refill my ADs and I had to go off them Cold turkey. I felt terrible for weeks and never got an answer as to why they wouldn't refill my meds
